Stace was prompt and very helpful. I felt that the description online is a little misleading. As expected with the drought, the creek is little more than puddles filled with green goo. In addition, while the house is recently renovated and thoughtfully built into the forest, the house is located on a major road. Noise travels really really well in the red woods. The hot tub is nestled beautifully in the trees, but backs up to the fence on the major road. The master bedroom is above the fence line and road noise and light floods the bedroom. We also had our dogs with us, and there were a number of large gaps in the fence. If they were to get out, it would be very dangerous for them.
Overall, it was a beautiful home with a good spot for winter and spring but for the price it just doesn't make sense for summer and fall.

We really liked this house. It was as described, nice linens, well kept, etc. Location is fantastic and host was responsive and friendly. With our family of 6, we will likely rent a larger home next time but would happily rent from these folks again. Final comment, the hot tub on the deck was a hit with our children, they used it every day!

We had a very nice stay at the OtterCreek. Well located, close to really good wineries and farmer markets. Perfect to relax for a few days.
It took us a little bit to find it at the beginning but we call Stace and she was able to help us in a second.
We like to cook and the kitchen had all the amenities to do it so it was wonderful. Maybe the only think that i can complain about is that we didn't feel like getting into the Hot Tub because the water was kind of greenish and the smell wasn't so good, but who needs a hotTub if there is an amazing river 10 min by car to swim in! I will definitely recommend this place if you are looking for few relaxing days but also if you like to spend some days discovering Sonoma without spending so much money in hotels.

Oh no...that is weird. we drained the tub right before your arrival...If you ever find anything not to your liking let me know immediately I will always respond. My goal is for everyone to have a perfect stay from arrival to departure.
Glad you had a great stay!
thx,

Ohm sweet ohm is truly a sweet experience. The house is beautiful and well kept and the view from the deck is simply amazing. River activities are within few miles and the location is pretty convenient. Lots of kitchen supplies and the linens, bathroom etc are very clean. There is ample space the two cars to be parked and the neighborhood is nice and quiet.

Overall we had a very enjoyable experience with the house. The house and location were great. The beach is very nice.
Best features: Lots of bedrooms, a very well equipped kitchen, a grill, the excellent game room with ping pong, pool and foosball, and the Jacuzzi.
Minuses: Lack of window shades in bedrooms and in dining room (glare was a big issue) and the lack of internet access. We purchased a wifi hotspot from the association but it did not work. Only one person in our group had any internet access at all. Also all the rules feel a bit oppressive, but ultimately did not detract much from the experience.
